The lines y = 6x + 14 and y = 122 meet at x = 18121416182022248090100110120130140150160x = 18y = 6x + 14y = 122
The lines y = 6x + 14 and y = 122 meet at x = 18. The solution of the equation is the x-coordinate of the point where the two sides are equal.

How to work it out

  1. 1

    The goal is to get x alone. Undo the operations in the opposite order: first the addition, then the multiplication.

    6x+14=1226x + 14 = 122
  2. 2

    Subtract 14 from both sides:

    6x+14−14=122−14 ⇒ 6x=1086x + 14 - 14 = 122 - 14 \ \Rightarrow\ 6x = 108
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 6:

    6x6=1086 ⇒ x=18\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{108}{6} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 18
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 18 back into the equation.
